My favourite finds are pieces with history. 🌿⠀
⠀
⚡SAVE THIS FOR LATER⚡⠀
⠀
As a writer, one of my favourite pieces is my Underwood typewriter. Darasak acquired it from a lovely lady who was an author. She typed out several books on it.⠀
⠀
Another piece I love is my vintage radio. We picked it up from the same street I lived on in Chatham as a child. As well as my rotary phone. Both still work impeccably.⠀
⠀
I also collect vintage cameras and lenses. The rest gives my shelves a little more character. ⠀
⠀
⚡HOW TO STYLE OPEN SHELVES⚡⠀
⠀
ᴜꜱᴇ ʙᴏᴏᴋꜱ:⠀
⠀
I grab my fave books and stack them for different heights. You can stack them high or display them vertically and use bookends. You can play around with colours or go more neutral, like me.⠀
⠀
ᴀᴅᴅ ɢʀᴇᴇɴᴇʀʏ:⠀
⠀
This is a must for me and helps to bring colour and texture to your shelves. I think it brings life and warmth to any space. I love succulents myself, but flowers of your choice work too.⠀
⠀
ᴅɪꜱᴘʟᴀʏ ʟᴇᴀɴɪɴɢ ᴀʀᴛ & ᴘɪᴄꜱ:⠀
⠀
Grab your fave prints (you can find many online for free/purchase) and add them to a frame. Lean them on the wall and layer them with decor pieces. I have both artwork and pictures of my family. This is just half of my shelf. The other half has more decor, art, and pictures. For smaller picture frames, I usually place them on a stack of books.⠀
⠀
ᴅɪꜱᴘʟᴀʏ ɪᴛᴇᴍꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴏᴠᴇ:⠀
⠀
This is the most obvious but important tip. I have pieces that are important to me. Like a vendor 'love' ring that Darasak bought me in San Francisco, pictures of my girls, and cameras gifted to me. Decorate with things of all sizes that speak to you and that you love. It's your space, so tell your story but, make it your own. ⠀
⠀
I love working in my office because it has so many things I love and treasure.

⚡SWIPE TO SEE WHY⚡⠀
⠀
To my girls, you are above everything and above all. Forever my Valentines. From birth to infinity. You light up my life. I love you so much. 💚⠀
⠀
To D, you're the:⠀
⠀
PB to my J. ✅⠀
Avocado to my toast. ✅⠀
Cheese to my macaroni. ✅⠀
My lobster. ✅⠀
My person. ✅⠀
⠀
All of the above. ⠀
⠀
Thank you for my new mug. I have to say it, Darasak, thank you for putting up with my mug obsession. The hot chocolate bomb was a glittery delicious beaut too.⠀
⠀
✨SWIPE TO SEE IT DISSOLVE✨⠀
⠀
Happy Valentine's Day if you celebrate it. For us, the day of love is every day but, nothing wrong with enjoying this day. It doesn't have to be extravagant. Do something nice for yourself (you deserve it) or for the one you love. ⠀
⠀
We are having a nice dinner at home, binge-watching our faves, and enjoying each other's company. ⠀
⠀
How are you celebrating? 💚✨

Reflect. Refuel. Refocus. ⠀
⠀
I spent most of my day today organizing my office, bookkeeping, and writing down my goals. It's safe to say, lots of hard work was put in today. ⠀
⠀
Okay, I'm gonna be real. ⠀
⠀
Every time @imbuilt launches a new bar, I always say it's my new fave, but, seriously, it's because they keep coming in with the W's. ⠀
⠀
This Coconut Brownie Chunk bar is soft, and the whole top layer has big brownie chunks. For those on WW like me, this is 5 points and worth every single one! It's 5 grams of protein, 150 calories, 2.45 sat fat, 15g protein, and 7g sugar.⠀

Same dreams. Fresh starts. 🍃⠀
⠀
I've never been one to make resolutions. I think it's a great habit to set small goals and work towards the bigger picture. ⠀
⠀
One of my goals this year was to improve my gut health. Gut health improves so many other parts of your life like your skin, getting better sleep, digestion, and more.⠀
⠀
While I always try to eat plenty of fruits and veggies (I love big salads 🥗), I can't always get the amount I need daily. Who has time to eat kale all day, right? ⠀
⠀
I've been using @teamiblends Superfood Blend for a week, and in one scoop, I get my entire daily servings of vegetables, 16 superfoods, and I am feeling more energized, less bloated, and confident to start my day. With virtual school and my own deadlines, I need the energy boost.⠀
⠀
To me, it tastes like matcha tea, so I love it just like that alone. In my Teami tumbler, I add a scoop into water and drink it first thing in the morning. ⠀
⠀

You can add it to your fave smoothie, in oatmeal, milk, and even baked goods.⠀

If your small goal is to improve your gut health, have more energy, and get your daily greens in—grab some! ⠀

Work hard, snack often. 😋⠀
⠀
It's that time of day when I am craving a little something. If you know me, you know I am all about that @WW life. What I love about it is that I can still enjoy delicious snacks when I want. ⠀
⠀
This Strawberry Banana Pizzelle tart is a quick and easy snack that you can prepare in minutes. Plus, it's only 3 points. Add a point if you eat all of the Strawberry Built Puffs.⠀
⠀
ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋ ɪᴛ ᴅᴏᴡɴ:⠀
◾ 1/2 Strawberry @imbuilt Puffs - 2 pts⠀
◾ 1 tablespoon of Sugar-Free Whipped Topping - 0 pts⠀

What do you reach for during snack time?

I'm a better person when I am moisturized. 💅🏽⠀
⠀
Winter is here in full force for us. This means more time inside, more dry air, and my skin desperately needs moisture.⠀
⠀
Over the years, I've improved my skin drastically and just by following a simple skincare routine. All you need is a good cleanser, toner, essence, serums, moisturizer, sunscreen, and a good night cream.⠀
⠀
Hyaluronic acid is a daily for me since my skin tends to be dry. I've been using @dermae Hydrating Night Cream during my night routine. It's ultra-rich, intensely hydrating, and makes my skin feel supple and quenched. The formula locks in the hyaluronic acid and keeps my skin nice and plump! ⠀
⠀
⚡CHECK OUT MY STORIES FOR PRODUCT LINKS⚡⠀
⠀
During my day/night routine, I've used their Hyaluronic Facial Serum, and I use it before I apply my moisturizer. That way, it's locked in too. I keep it in my skincare fridge, and it feels amazing. ⠀
⠀
Best part? ⠀
⠀
My skin glows, plus all @dermae's products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. 🐰 ⠀
⠀
Win-win.⠀

How are you protecting your skin during the winter?

I love sleep—it's like a time machine to breakfast. 🍫🥥⠀
⠀
I'm not usually a big breakfast person but, I always make it a point to start with protein. I enjoy a good bowl of oatmeal though sometimes, oatmeal can be plain. That's why it is often the last choice for most people.⠀
⠀
Honestly, I love it.⠀
⠀
It's warm and versatile, and you can top it with endless toppings. Plus, it will keep you full until lunch. ⠀
⠀
This oatmeal is protein-packed because it's topped with good for you ingredients and my favourite protein marshmallow bars, Built Puffs from @imbuilt. The world's first-ever chocolate covered marshmallow bar! ⠀
⠀
They are the world's first protein marshmallow, covered in 100% real chocolate with 16g of protein and only 130 calories. ⠀
⠀
You can enjoy them on their own too, of course. They're available in Vanilla, Strawberry, and Coconut. If you're on @WW like me, you'll find that Built Puffs come out to be 3 points! SO good!⠀
